Simple Little Tea Light

When I was going through some of my supplies the other day, I found these cute little jars that I forgot I had.  They are the kind you can sit up as you see here or you can angle them to one side since they have two flat spots on the jars.  I wanted to keep them simple so the light given off by the tea light could be seen.  So, I used White Craft Ink and stamped a Mixed Blossom on White Vellum and punched them out with the Blossom Punch.  I attached the blossom to the front of the jar using a really nice vellum adhesive that I found a local store.  It adheres well and it is invisible.  I was thrilled when I used it on these jars.  To the center of the blossom I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewels colored with permanent marker.  Although it is seen in the photo, I did add some ribbon along the cap.  Super cute!


Stamp Set(s):  Mixed Blossom; Ink(s):  Whisper White Craft Pad; Card Stock:  White Vellum;  Accessories & Tools:  Blossom Punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

The tea light is battery operated so it can be replaced or, should you want, you could use a votive candle.  These will be on my display table at Friday night's fundraiser.

Oh, be sure to check out the latest Fall-i-Days Blog Hop that starts tonight.  A good place to start is from the following link:  Fall-i-Days Blog Hop.  See you there.

Fall-i-Days Llama Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe.  You've reached your next stop on the Llama Fall-i-Days Blog Hop.  For my first card, I kept the design very clean and simple.  I love the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set from the Annual Catalog.  I paired it with the hello sentiment from the My Friend Stamp Set, embossed some flowers, cut them out and added a few pearls.  All the colors remind me of fall.

 
Stamp Set(s):  Everything Eleanor, My Friend; Ink(s):  Real Red; Card Stock:  Summer Starfruit, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie; Accessories & Tools:  Stampin' Emboss Powder Clear, Pearl Basic Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals, Heat Tool

Autumn is my favorite time of the year and I love all the colors you find when the leaves are changing on the trees.  For this card I paired Soft Suede with More Mustard and added a touch of Always Artichoke.  Crinkled and crumpled, the More Mustard layer reminds me of leaves that have fallen to the ground and crackle under your feet.


Stamp Set(s):  Just Believe, Tiny Tags; Ink(s):  Soft Suede, Cajun Craze; Card Stock:  Soft Suede, More Mustard, Always Artichoke; Accessories & Tools:  Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die, Little Leaves Sizzlits, 3/16" Neutrals Brads Crumb Cake, Mini Glue Dots
